Prototyping and Emulation Engineer

Role : Prototyping and Emulation Engineer

Location : Austin TX (Onsite)

Job Description :

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated FPGA Prototyping and Emulation Engineer to join our hardware development team. This role is critical to accelerating silicon validation and system-level debug through advanced prototyping and emulation platforms. You will work closely with architecture design and verification teams to enable early software development and system bring-up.

The Person :

Were on the lookout for an Engineer with strong experience in semiconductor validation and hardware / software co-debug. Ideal candidates will have worked on advanced SoC designs and validation methodologies with prior experience developing large-scale SoC models (1B gates) and applying expert debug techniques.

Key Responsibilities :

• Develop and maintain FPGA-based prototypes using Xilinx FPGAs and Synopsys HAPS platforms.
• Perform FPGA synthesis partitioning and timing closure for complex SoC designs.
• Drive bring-up and debug of SoC prototypes including waveform capture and analysis.
• Interface with custom PCBs and semiconductor components for system-level validation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support pre-silicon and post-silicon debug.
• Integrate and support emulation platforms including Synopsys ZeBu Cadence Palladium / Protium and Mentor Veloce.
• Use AI-based modeling to generate behavioral models of removed modules.
• Maintain and monitor quality model development deployment and automated regression testing infrastructure.
• Develop and maintain model smoke tests to ensure model functionality prior to delivery to bring-up teams.
• Drive technical innovation across validation including tool and script development methodology enhancement and cross-functional initiatives.
• Debug issues across bring-up validation and production phases of SoC programs.
• Track test execution and ensure timely validation and optimization of all features.
• Engage with other software / hardware modeling frameworks and support teams.
• Lead collaborative efforts across multiple engineering teams.
